investigate — Alias for debug+

Redirects to /debug+ which wraps superpowers:systematic-debugging with scout agent context harvesting. This alias exists for backward compatibility.

Procedure

Use /debug+ instead. It follows the same systematic debugging process:

  1. Reproduce the issue and capture output
  2. Use the scout agent when code exploration is needed
  3. Delegate to superpowers:systematic-debugging
  4. Report findings with evidence
  • Issue reproduced and symptom documented
  • Root cause identified with evidence
  • Fix applied and tests pass

Skill Chain

Invoke /debug+ directly for the full skill. After resolving, return to your current phase.

Completion

Report one of these states:

  • DONE — Root cause identified and fix applied with passing tests.
  • DONE_WITH_CONCERNS — Root cause identified but fix has side effects or needs review.
  • BLOCKED — Cannot reproduce the issue or insufficient context to diagnose.
  • NEEDS_CONTEXT — Need user input to reproduce the issue or understand expected behavior.
